Hello fashionistas! Fall is nearly upon us, and I for one am in the midst of building up my new fall wordrobe (as I’m sure many of you are as well)! But while sorting through the clothing rack, how often do you check the label for what its made of? I’m sure by now most of you have heard the term “eco friendly”, or “environmentally friendly” fashion. What exactly is it? Quite simply, it’s choosing natural fabrics over artificial, and opting for clothes that are good for the environment rather than ones that hurt it. It’s important to understand where are clothes come from and what they’re made of. Sustainable fashion is a way to feel fashionable and stylish and also help the environment. And with countless designers of all sorts contrinbuting to the movement, eco-friendly fashion is more popular now than ever.
Here are some eco-friendly brands and clothing items we’re loving right now!
